** Official Hawkeyes vs. Goooophers game thread **

Please, to anyone thinking 1 good game somehow makes up for 40 poor games...please just shut up.

How's his percentage this year?

The fans are in "wait for something bad to happen" mode.

The fans have been ready to explode all game, we just hadn't given them much reason to until the end. Choppy game where there just wasn't much flow.

 

[theboat]

Our starters have been non factors. Minnesota is shootin 50%, 63% from 3 and 91% from the line. Oglesby bought time and the other guys will close it out.

 

[LaoHawk]

Week off has been bad for the team except Oglesby and Gabe. Get the rust off Dev and Whitey. Go Hawks!

 

[hawkfan33]

I bet Fran gets in some rear ends at the half. Whitey on the bench because he picked up 2 stupid fouls. Marble isn't aggressive enough. If those 2 guys pick it up, we can win this game.

I hope not. You saw how much trouble that caused for Sandusky and Penn St.

Oglesby has now had 4 good games out of the 6 games he's played. That's about what you'd expect from a three point specialist (who can also play defense.) I'll take that, especially if he sprinkles in an unconscious stretch (hope we'll continue to see that.)

good god how bout some free throw practice

Why do our 2 struggling FT shooters have a staggered FT stance? Get both feet on the line, square up, same repeated rhythm, keep the ball down the middle..... it's not that difficult

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Bench has scored 25 bench points in the first half.

He's shot very well ever since coming back from injury. He's shooting just under 65% from behind the arc, and has come up big in big spots (which was always the biggest knock against him). I fully believe the Josh we're seeing now, is the guy Fran was seeing in practice everyday.

 

[Skeets77]

Need to get Marble and White going 2nd half or were in trouble. Minnesota will shut down our 3's I'm afraid.

Who shoots free throws with both feet on the line?

True. Every time a potential run started we'd throw it away or breakdown on defense. We're a lot better than we've showed so far.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Time to pull away in the 2nd half.

I knew this would be a white-knuckler but it's far worse than I expected. Can't even keep a lead or seize opportunities and, outside of JO, Gabe and some flashes by Mel, everyone else is still in Columbus. The way this one is shaping up, I'll be shocked if they win at all, let alone, "pull away".

Josh is not going to keep it up in the 2nd half and we can only hope Hollins cools off, too. The game will be won or lost by the 16-minute mark and if Marble / White / Uthoff play like they did in the 1st, Iowa is going to lose.

 

[Sparky]

If it wasn't for Oglesby we wouldn't even be in this game.

This is always a stupid comment from people. Iowa does have him though, so what's your point?

 

[STILLBUSTER]

I hope not. You saw how much trouble that caused for Sandusky and Penn St.

... too soon.

He's playing better but lets not make statements that have no basis in reality. He's playing well and fans are starting to forgive and forget. You making those comments will just turn people against him, for the sake of arguing. Let it go.

If it weren't for Hollins, Iowa would be up 10.

I bet you are some highly paid motivational speaker right, I'm sure you were the guy Ogs worked with to get his confidence back after last year.

On a serious not, why don't you STFU with all the stupid crap you post.

This has got to be the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. If you are under 13, I apologize. If not, please go to the Wrestling forum.

**** son, it was over a year ago. Grow up.
